Glen Garioch 1797 Founder’s Reserve

Description

The non age stated entry level bottling to Glen Garioch’s range, which was revamped in 2010. This bottling pays homage to John and Alexander Manson, brothers who founded the distillery in 1797. Glen Garioch is said to be one of the oldest continually operating distilleries in the country.

This whisky is said to contain some spirit that is around 8 years old. This whisky offers up notes of chocolate, lime, oak, butter, spice, dessert wine, warm malt, citrus rind, toast, and cracked pepper. Bottled at 48% ABV and without chill filtration, this ensures that the spirit’s flavours are assertive and satisfying on the palate.

Tasting Notes:

Nose – Warm amber in appearance, sweet vanilla and subtle spice combine with fruitier green apple and grapefruits on the nose.

Palete – Butter cream and vanilla pave the way to fruity green apple skin and citrus cleanliness, leading to an elegant and subtle finish.
